2 Mar 2015capital raising announcement● Neutral

Walter agreed to issue 8,650,000 new shares to one noteholder in exchange for $66.725 million of its 8.5% senior notes due 2021, which will be retired and cancelled with no cash received. This extends the debt-for-stock swaps from the 2020 notes to the 2021 notes, and dilutes existing shareholders.

Walter agreed to issue 3,900,000 new shares plus $5.2 million in cash to two noteholders in exchange for $52 million of its 9.875% senior notes due 2020, which will be retired and cancelled.

Walter agreed to issue 2,250,000 new common shares to one noteholder in exchange for $25 million of its 9.875% senior notes due 2020, which will be retired and cancelled, with no cash received. This continues the debt-for-stock swaps begun in April 2014 and dilutes existing shareholders somewhat.

25 Apr 2014capital raising announcement● Neutral

Walter agreed to issue 3,150,000 new common shares to one noteholder in exchange for $35 million of its 9.875% senior notes due 2020, which will be retired and cancelled. No cash comes in; the company says the aim is to reduce debt and interest cost and it may do more such exchanges. For shareholders this means some dilution, and it follows the company's earlier debt-raising in 2013-2014.

19 Nov 2012capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor

On November 16, 2012 Walter priced a $500.0M private offering of 9.875% senior notes due 2020, with interest paid June 15 and December 15 starting June 15, 2013, guaranteed by its wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries. It plans to use the net proceeds to repay credit facility debt, pay fees and for general corporate purposes. This is the $500M unsecured notes issue contemplated in the October 2012 credit amendment, and its size meets the amendment's threshold for the covenant and margin changes.
